Status Quo
Posted by Chris Lambert
The morning sun was lost behind afternoon clouds, and I don't see much changing the next few days. We'll get some breaks of sun, but clouds win out most of the time. The following talks about some rain and snow showers, but remember... MOST of the time is dry.
As a big ole storm to the NE of us continues to spin it's wheels, just enough instability rotates back into southern New England tonight and early tomorrow to trigger a few snow showers. North and west of Boston, a few towns may pick up a dusting, but not much more than that. In fact, any dusting of snow melts by late morning tomorrow as temps head their way up to the 40 degree mark. A passing rain or snow shower is possible in the afternoon, but again, much of the day is dry. About 30% of us pick up a rain or snow shower. A few more snow showers drop another dusting of snow north of the city tomorrow evening.
A passing rain or snow shower still possible Monday before completely dry weather prevails Tuesday. At that point, we turn our eyes to the south for Wed and Thur. A mid-Atlantic storm cranks up Wednesday and Thursday, but it remains to be seen how much of an impact we'll see. I'd bet on lots of clouds, an occasional rain or snow shower, and a strong east to northeast wind both days. Right now, the brunt of the storm looks to slide just south of us, but I wouldn't discount a farther north track just yet. Certainly worth watching at this point. At least we'll see an impact of high winds and rough seas along the coast.
Can Only Go Up From Here

Rain and drizzle continues tonight as temperatures drop into the mid 30s to 40 degrees. Any burst of heavier precip drags down colder air, and elevations above 1000 feet in northern Worcester County or southwester NH see wet snow mixing in overnight. No shovels or plows needed for us, but it is a sure sign how cold the atmosphere is for late May. As of this writing, Mt. Mansfield in VT has picked up 7.5" of snow and Whiteface Mtn. in NY has picked up 18"!
This Is How It Starts? Really?

So it's the unofficial start of summer this weekend and officially, the average high this time of year hits 70 degrees. So you'd think we have a good shot at BBQ weather right? Not much of a chance today with highs reaching near 50 this morning, only to fall back into the low to mid 40s this afternoon as a cold rain settles in.

Rain, rain, rain...
...but for many today was a day of hurry up and wait. Sure there were showers, but not every minute was washed out. With the events unfolding tonight, that's about to change.
